Since the twenty-nine-year-old lost her dream job at a glossy magazine three months ago, her days have been filled with overdue bills, cereal for dinner, and a flood of rejection emails (not to mention her ex has a new girlfriend). So when she's offered a job at \u003ci\u003eThe Scoop\u003c\/i\u003e, a tabloid website run by tyrannical editor-in-chief David Brown, she can't exactly afford to say no--even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, for Frankie, it's just a paycheck, a temporary detour. It's not forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But the deeper she's pulled into the breakneck world of tabloid journalism, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes--until she crosses it. When her reporting humiliates a beloved pop star and dredges up grief over her late mother, Frankie sets off a chain reaction that spirals beyond her control. In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go--and how much is she willing to lose--to win at this ruthless game? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, \u003ci\u003eThe Scoop \u003c\/i\u003eis a searing exploration of ambition, exploitation, and the human toll of the 24\/7 news cycle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Van Der Meer\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and former journalist whose work has appeared in publications including \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Beast\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eElle\u003c\/i\u003e.
